Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

not coming

why exactly do you Americans want another mediocre sidegrade tho?

you should be asking for F-15EX

?

Yeah definitely bad

realistically F-15EX won’t happen until Su-35S. F-15E RMP, however, would definitely happen anytime

you complained???

So that F-15EX would go to F-15C line up instead of E line up, If they add F-15E RMP, it would be rank 9 it would go below F-15E hence increasing the chance of EX going to F-15C line up. Since i still need to grind F-15E, It would be terrible for me if they add F-15EX (the best US jet before 5th gen) in F-15E line up

Also F-15E RMP would bet 14.3 and hence i would still be able to get 13.3 downtiers with it

I mean after the MiG-35 there isnt really anything else and depending on which specific variant of MiG-35 they add its either a 14.0 or 14.3 aircraft. So unless gaijin decides to go full paper and add stuff like the MiG 1.44/42 (which they won’t) the MiG line is pretty much done after the MiG-35 gets added.

why should the F-15EX go to the F-15C line?

it’s the perfect plane for the F-15E line

in the F-15C line tbh I expect an Early F-22 later this year

If you keep huffing as much copium as you are you wont have any for next update.

Am I not allowed to complain that the Mica has absurdly high drag despite having good stats?

It’s a medium range missile*, but the fine print says you have to be at basically Mach 2 to take similar high pK shots as AIM-120A/B at Mach 1.5

still I don’t see a MiG-31 at higher than 14.0

Why would a Multirole Strike Fighter derived from the Strike Eagle go to the F-15C line instead of the Strike line?

F-15EX is meant to replace F-15C and not E hence would make more sense in F-15C line up. As for F-22 i don’t think they would be rank 9 even if they add early version of it

EX is the C’s successor. Yes, even when it shares the strike eagle’s body.

While based on F-15E model, F-15EX has a completely different mission profile and is meant to replace F-15C/D models.

By strike line up, do you mean F-15E line or A-10C line?

I have alot of supply for it so I don’t need to worry about finishing all of it in this update :D

ig technically the bomber line instead

I don’t see them making rank 10 just for 5th gens. There’s plenty of room in rank 9 for the 5th gens to cap it off.

The F-15EX is by itself very confusing.

It can do everything that the F-15E can, and then some.

So it’s not weird when people think F-15E → F-15EX. But that’s just not the case.

If there are any doubts; the name’s ’Advanced Eagle’ or Eagle II; not ‘Advanced Strike Eagle’ or ‘Strike Eagle II’
